Understanding Cell Structures: Cytoskeleton and Microtubules

Learn about the cytoskeleton and microtubules in animal cells, which maintain cell structure and enable movement. Discover how microtubules act as scaffolding, while microfilaments function for contraction and movement within cells.

  5. The cytoskeleton (cell skeleton) maintains the structure of animal cells and helps cells move. There are two types: Microtubules Microfilaments

  6. Cytoskeleton Microtubules are hollow tubes that act like scaffolding to maintaining a cell's shape and provide a path for organelle movement. Bundles of microtubules create structures useful for movement: cilia (short, hairlike) flagella (long, whiplike)

  7. Cytoskeleton Microfilamentsare like a rope of two twisted protein chains. Microfilaments can contract, causing movement. The contraction of muscle is due to the action of microfilaments.
